I interviewed in Cortland and Syracuse. I live in Cortland so I think I will stay here until I am finished with the BSN.
As to what causes my PVCs.... good question! We have know idea. I have worn holter monitors, had stress tests and echos done. My heart is in great condition. I do not smoke and I rarely drink because it makes them worst. I do not even drink coffee. My heart just likes to beat differently than other people. Maybe I should play the lottery if I am that lucky. LOL
Thanks for writing and feel free to do so any time.

Congratulations on your nursing degree. I'm sure the stress is not making the PVCs any better. I think I was about 28 years old when my PVCs started. They certainly are scary! I'll be 45 in August and I'm still breathing. LOL I still hate every single one of them. I feel them all too.
This forum is really helpful. I continue to read it several times a week, especially when I'm having a bad PVC day.
I just applied to Delhi's on-line BSN program. Ae you going to work in Oneonta?
Take care,

Exercise wasn't a problem. Never got light headed or anything. Let me know if you try it and if it helps. I don't know if it's a 'me' thing or it really is a nutrition deficiency thing but it works for me.
